Coronavirus COVID – 19 update
The Coronavirus – COVID-19 has impacted all of us. Even as the weeks go by, it is important that we continue to listen to the recommendations of all levels of government and prioritize our health and safety. Social distancing and patience, along with focusing on self-care are extremely important right now.
Last month I co-hosted a Telephone Town Hall about COVID-19 with local MPP, Tom Rakocevic, and special guest, Dr. David Jacobs from Humber River Regional Hospital. The phone numbers that both of our office had on file were called, and many were able to live stream and listen in to the event online as well. We received many questions and will continue to share the most common questions and answers online: www.anthonyperruzza.com.
If you have any concerns or need access to resources, please give my office a call at: (416) 338-5335 or email: councillor_perruzza@toronto.ca.
My staff will continue to provide support, even as the situation changes.
